Sutton Bingham - Sat 15 Apr

A morning visit did produce a new bird for the year, with a couple of Feral Pigeons flying over, I know, it's not a good patch tick, but it's on the list nonetheless. Very little else of note this morning though other than three Sparrowhawks and a few hirundines.

A message at 8.00pm got me back out to the reservoir though as Pete had found four Greylag Geese that had dropped in to the main reservoir. Fortunately I arrived in time to see them distantly off the dam, photographic evidence below.

After a few minutes they took to the air, circled over the northern causeway, giving very nice views in the failing light, before flying off to the north.
